Russia and Ukraine swap hundreds more prisoners, hours after a massive attack on Kyiv
- On Saturday, Russia and Ukraine exchanged 307 prisoners each via Belarus as part of a major swap agreed in Istanbul on May 16.
- This second phase followed the first release of 390 combatants and civilians on Friday under a broader agreement to swap 1,000 prisoners each.
- Hours before the exchange, Kyiv was struck by a major attack involving numerous Russian missiles and drones, resulting in at least 15 injuries and fires, particularly affecting the Obolon district.
- The Ukrainian air force said it shot down six ballistic missiles and 245 drones from 250 launched, while Kyiv's mayor warned over 20 strike drones targeted the city.
- Despite the prisoner swap, fighting persisted along the roughly 1,000-kilometer front line, with diplomacy stalled as Moscow maintains maximalist demands and Putin defies European ceasefire calls.
